Bonuses (Festival & Ad-hoc)

Grant one-off payments on top of regular salary — the annual festival (Dashain) bonus plus performance and discretionary bonuses. Bonuses are approved by HR and then picked up by the next payroll run.

Open HR Management → Bonuses (/hr/bonuses).

Add a single bonus

  1. Click New and select the Employee.
  2. Choose a Bonus Type:
  3. Festival (Dashain)
  4. Performance
  5. Discretionary
  6. Set the Fiscal Year (e.g. 2081/82), the Amount (NPR), and the Effective Month (the pay period it should be paid in).
  7. Add optional Notes and Save. The bonus is created as pending for approval.

Run a festival batch

Instead of adding people one by one, use Run Batch to generate the festival bonus for all eligible staff at once:

  1. Click Run Batch, set the Fiscal Year and Effective Month.
  2. The system creates pending festival bonuses for everyone who qualifies (typically ≥ 1 year of service), grouped under a Batch you can track in the list.

Auto-generated during Dashain

Festival bonuses are also auto-generated for eligible staff during the Ashwin/Kartik cycles as PENDING records — HR just needs to review and approve them. See Payroll & Tax → Bonuses, advances, overtime.

Approve and pay

Each bonus carries a Status. Once approved, the next payroll run for that Effective Month folds the amount into the employee's payslip and taxes it correctly. Use the Search employee or batch box to find records.
